The Black Queen put out 2 albums. Steve Alexander does some excellent work regarding inventive guitar scapes and songwriting. Greg Puciato does the vocals and Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv) with Puscifer credits, Nine Inch Nails remixer and live performer brings it all into shape with some exquisite sound design. Exceptional output and highly recommended.

Very Depeche Mode. Big fan of Billy’s ever since I first heard A Perfect Circle. Was fortunate to see them in Brisbane on the Mer De Noms tour, as a lifelong Tool fan it was awesome to see Maynard in a different incarnation and Billy’s playing was really heavy and tastefully done. As a drummer Josh Freese was a beast and just a blast, a joy to watch. Thanks for the interview Rick.

the way Billy uses Delays...is something unique on its own;!!! sounds like nothing else and especially sophisticated to create depth and space ...just awesome....if there's a way that Billy explains how he achieves these clean/slightly overdriven tones that sparkle and spread in space like particles in suspension caught by the daylight just crazy stuff in many of his records...such a great tone maker this genius....he put his mark in the modern music....it's less that we can say ..at least...
@egsystems913 Жыл бұрын
Lovely music. I hear influences from Depeche Mode, The Cure, & maybe even a little Tears for Fears (not saying any rip-off is going on, just a "vibe") and the vocal is serene. One of those albums you could listen to on a warm night, watching the stars, as you drift away.

Great interview! Nice to see others interested in what Danny Lohner's up to these days as well. Personally feel he deserved more credit, and thought I'd see him leave more of a mark on music by now. Throughout the years, he leaves his stamp on noteable collaborations behind the scenes. Live, havent seen him play in years, but he has a gravitating presence that added to the energy on stage. Good to see him surrounding himself with good company. Time to see what this album's all about
